Introducing the refreshed HPI Bullet MT
3.0, the ready-built off-road vehicle that's ideal for all off-road
bashers and enthusiasts! The Bullet 3.0 is now truly a go-anywhere
machine! This Bullet is 1/10th scale monster truck fitted with a
powerful 4WD drivetrain and extra-powerful HPI Nitro Star G3.0
engine with 2.2 horsepower, so it can power
through all sorts of terrain and fly over any obstacles! Now fitted
with a versatile and comfortable HPI 2.4GHz radio system, it's
easier than ever to control the speed of the Bullet! The Bullet MT
3.0 is just one member of a family of HPI vehicles which are based
around a durable 4WD shaft drivetrain, 2 shocks per wheel
and double-deck aluminium chassis. The Bullet off-road
trucks feature either Nitro Star 3.0 engines or silent Flux
brushless motor systems, and are available in different off-road
truck varieties. In short, you can get the precise flavour of
off-road performance you want with the HPI Bullet!

All of the latest HPI kits are now fitted
with a comfortable and feature-packed HPI 2.4GHz radio
system for supreme control and confidence! The radio
features a pistol-grip design with steering wheel for ease of
use and realistic control, compact size, servo reversing
and a light weight due to it requiring only four AA
batteries. You won't have to worry about radio crystals or what
channel other RC racers are using with our 2.4GHz technology - the
radio does all that work for you! The radio prevents frequency
conflicts automatically and changes channels if there is any
interference. Finally, if you ever lose radio signal, an
electronic failsafe will bring it to a safe and
controlled stop. You'll have professional-level control in one easy
RTR package!

Nitro Star G3.0 engine

The Nitro Star G3.0 engine provides all the
muscle for the Bullet 3.0 nitro trucks - it's loud, powerful and
strong, to give you amazing acceleration and awesome top speed! The
engine is started by a simple pullstarter system and is protected
by a unique water splash cover and 2-stage air
filter for extra protection, and the two-needle
carburretor allows you to fine-tune the performance of the engine
for any kind of weather or fuel. Displacement: 3.01cc Bore: 16.8mm
Stroke: 13.6mm Power: 2.2hp @ 31,000 RPM Maximum RPM: 32,000 RPM
Carburettor: F2-6.5 (Composite 6.5mm)

Formed from 6061 aluminium for a
combination of strength and light weight, the Bullet 3.0 chassis is
durable, looks great and forms the ideal backbone for all the
various components that make the Bullet trucks so tough!

Drivetrain

The drivetrain used in all Bullet trucks is a full-time
four-wheel drive shaft-type drivetrain, just like the one
used in 1/8th scale buggies like the World Champion D8 buggy. A
shaft drivetrain is the best option for a kit that's expected to
encounter every possible driving condition and track surface, so
whether you're blasting through mud, water, dirt, grass, snow or
gravel, this is exactly what you what you want! A strong plastic
54-tooth spur gear takes the power from the engine and transmits it
front and rear through an adjustable dual pad slipper clutch. A
dual pad slipper provides more protection to the drivetrain than a
standard single pad design, and we've included it as standard to
make sure you get the best out of the Bullet. The centre dogbones
drive the front and rear bevel differentials, which use 4 internal
gears for increased durability and lifetime over standard 2-gear
diffs. The diff outdrives turn tough steel outdrives and axles, and
14mm hex adapters spin the cool styled wheels wrapped with
all-terrain tractor-tread rubber tyres. A single drilled
steel disc brake is used for extreme stopping power. Brake
pads shod with material used in full-size trucks clamp down when
the brakes are applied, bringing this beast to a quick yet
controllable stop! All the brake linkage is fully adjustable, but
you can leave it as set from the factory or it can be adjusted for
prime operation on any surface. For extra efficiency, all the
components of the drivetrain, from the spur gear to the wheel
axles, spin on rubber-sealed ball bearings. With
these bearings you get long runtimes and long engine life while the
rubber seals keep out dust and grime!

Suspension and
Steering

The Bullet MT 3.0 uses a tough suspension
design derived from larger racing trucks, but with a few extra bits
for increased durability! Long suspension arms are damped
by 2 oil-filled shock absorbers each, and tough front and
rear bumpers combined with skid plates protect both ends of the
truck in just about every collision.

Extra-long suspension arms provide stability, and thick suspension
pins give you extra insurance against crash damage. Both shocks on
each arm are 'captured', meaning the mounting screw attaches on
both sides of the shock end for extra durability in any type of
conditions. The suspension arms feature a solid construction for
extra-tough construction and extreme durability. Multiple shock
mounting locations let you fine-tune the handling for whatever you
plan to be doing. For advanced tuning, turnbuckle
links let you make quick adjustments, and even the
steering links use turnbuckles so you can change the front toe
setting if you wanted. Go ahead and try it - even though it's
perfectly set at the factory for neutral handling, we don't mind if
you try something new!

The shock absorbers are factory-fitted just like everything else on
the Bullet MT 3.0, and are precisely filled with oil for
exceptional handling in turns and cushioning when landing big
jumps. With big coil-over springs they are the perfect match to the
long suspension arms! Optional mounting points are provided on the
suspension arms for lowering the stance of the truck slightly
(great for running on-road) and stiffening up the suspension at the
same time, without using option parts.

The hubs, steering knuckles, and rear uprights, are made of tough
nylon plastic for enduring any sort of punishment. The front hubs
have an oversized rock guard to keep pebbles and stones away from
the dogbone/axle joint.

HPI makes it as easy as possible to get into
RC racing action. The RTR Bullet MT 3.0 is completely pre-built and
ready to go right out of the box! Everything is assembled and tuned
for you by professionals - diffs, shocks, suspension and more are
perfect before you even open the package. You don't have to do a
thing to get going fast! HPI Ready-To-Run vehicles bring you the
same high performance and quality that you'd expect from a high end
RC kit but with the added convenience of being factory
pre-assembled to the highest standards - giving you a high
performance RC truck straight from the box!

Just like all HPI cars and trucks, you get a full, in-depth
instruction manual with step-by-step instructions that allow you to
easily disassemble and reassemble your car for maintenance and easy
servicing. The manual also includes a handy parts list and
full-scale drawings of the parts and hardware.
